A Cambridgeshire cricket club aiming for promotion to a league with four ex-international players has secured a sponsorship deal with a housebuilder.

Ramsey Cricket Club will receive support from Vistry Group, which has sponsored a set of cricket stumps at the club.

The club is currently vying for a place in the East Anglian Premier League, which counts former England players Monty Panasar, Phil Mustard, and Ollie Stone, and Australian batsman Jake Weatherall among its ranks.

The sponsored stumps display the logo of Bovis Homes, a Vistry brand developing 100 homes in Ramsey at its Cromwell Abbey location.

“We are extremely proud that Vistry has chosen to sponsor our stumps and sincerely hope that this will be the beginning of a long-term relationship."

"The club plays a vital role in the local community as it brings together families in a sporting and social context.

"We are proud to be associated with the club and will help it out as much as we can.”
